Elliott and Beestin are not wingers or even wide forwards whatever Jimmy thinks. Roberts and Law are injured and unlikely to have any major impact on this season and are likely to be gone by next season.
Wilson’s face doesn’t fit and does seem to have gone backwards this season. McAlinden had half a decent game when he first arrived but his Chester goal notwithstanding has not looked like doing much else ever since.
Can understand the Jimmy gambles because he is out of the door unless he wins the playoffs. Surprised the board are backing him with more players but I guess they want to be seen to have given every opportunity before sacking him.
Bottom line is Roberts and Smith always carried a goal threat whereas their replacements and would be replacements not so much.
You forgot the lad on loan from Bradford via Farsley Cliff. Understandable as we’ve not really seen him.
